Oh, Hooray - SAD

I used to wanna argue, quick to draw my nails into my teeth
For diggin', uphill clawing, now I watch as the sun settles down
With me
I've never seen my close friends cry
But I believe they do all the time
California I barely knew ya', Carolina, sweet home town I
Wrote you letters, but what's a letter, if you loved someone you would drop it all
For them
I've been homesick posturin'
I know I threw you all away
Mama, I'm bleedin' just like the folk song said, my eyes are red
And I spend all night fundin' my sufferin'
Watch as we learn how to wear our parents shoes, they still feel loose
If I could I would, I would untie you
No melatonin, no absolution, the youngest kids now growin' old, yeah
He's in Boston, now he's in Houston
He's entranced with everything now that he's
In love
With somethin' that will rip him up
It's the same song and dance
Mama, I'm bleedin' just like those folk song said, my eyes are red
And I spend all night fundin' my sufferin'
Watch as we learn how to wear our parents shoes, they still feel loose
If I could I would, I would untie you
I'm a sweat ball
Zipped up like a funeral
I'm a red flag
A whicker lava lamp
I'm a damn shame
I never thought it'd be this way
Who will grab my hand?
I'm a goodbye
I'm frequent and I'm never right
I'm a long flight
I'm a phone call when you land
I'm unrest
A nowhere street where we first met
Who will grab my hand?
I was a good man
Lock in stride within the plan
I'm workin'
Doin' what I'm told
I'm broken
I'll barely make it home again
Who will hold my hand
When I realize that I'm indebted to a system
That makes me feel like my existence
Is borrowed time in a hotel lobby or loiterin' on private property
It's not much but I swear I'm tryin' to feed my mouth and build my family
And earn my keep and earn my livin' just enough to slowly starve them
Just enough to slowly drown them, just enough to keep them bashin'
Their heads on lights they thought would save them and pray to god
But I think god left them
God never left a road map for me (I will)
He never left a road map for me (Clip my wings and sing your praises)
He never left a road map for me (I will)
He never left a map (Hide behind the masks you've made)
Nobody told me I'd be so fuckin' sad
But I am
And I spend all night fundin' my sufferin'
Watch as I learn how to wear my parents shoes
They still feel loose
If I could I would, I would untie you
If I could I would, I would unwrite you
